What Two Leaders Say.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The Herald says
all the talk about President C.eveIand's
rum0red aversion TO second term,
whether believed or not by the political
world, has opened 4. discussion SIS TO his
own anti. rejection views IN regard to a
second term for the presidency. The
only public utterauCe he has ever made
on this subject Was is his letter Of &C
ceptanCe. During the past day or SO
political doctors have been holding a sort
Of autopsy to ascertain the exact scope
of these expressions, and the verdict
among those who are in front as the
rational leaders Of the Democracy
seems to be that while the President is
opposed on general principles to a sec
ond term, he has not in so many words
emphaticslly said he would refuse it.
No gentleman in public life enjoys the
confidence Of the President more thor
Oughly than Congressman William L.
Scott OF Erie Mr.. Scott ST his hotel
said he did not believe there was one
word of truth in the report that the Pres
dent had dropped out Of the race when
his party called on him in the proper
time. sob, yes, that letter of accept
anCe," said he, 81 know; but you mustn't
force any radical construction on it. |
don't consider that it means a particle
more than q general approval of some
such plan to amend the constitution, q
view which any man in the land has a
right to entertain; butthere is not word
in that letter, and Mr.. Cleveland has never
SAID word, that could be tortured into
plain, unequlvocsl refusal of a second
term If his party calls upon him to
accept it. Now can tell
you another thing, before Mr.. Cleveland
wrote his letter of acceptance, the policy
of touching on this point of g second term
was mentioned. There WAS, CT course,
no disposition to curb or suppress any
opinions Mr.. Cleveland may have enter
tanned on this subject, but it was thought
advisable not tC go TO any radical eX-
tremes. There is no sense, political or
common, in party leader declining to
accept something that has not been
offered him. When the proper time comes,
if the Democratic party calls on Mr..
Cleveland to take the helm, he can do so
in my Judgment without exposing himself
to any charge of inconsistency.
x-Sanator Barnum of Connecticut,
long at the helm of the National Demo
cratic Committee, had the same views
as Mr.. Scott, saying: 81 don't see any
reason in that letter of acceptance that
would debsr the President from taking
/ the nomination again."

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 19.-It is de-
IvelOped to-day that there is q case of
IlepTosy in this city. The patient is job
Hastings, WAC lives with his parents on
Wilson street. He contracted the terri
bic disease in Honolulu about three years
ago, and his entire body Is covered
with the sickening scabs peculiar to
lepers. hastings is thirty years of age,
and was born in this city. Being of a
rowing disposition, he left home about
Ave years ago and went west Finding
himself in San Francisco, and without
money, ne accepted berth on the steam
er City of Pekin, trading vessel bound
for the Sandwich Islands. When the
ship landed there Hastings was taken Ill,
and grew so much worse that the
officers had him moved to q house IN
Honolulu, and arranged with an old man
to care for him until the ship should re
turn. 1t was then that tie young man
became affected with the awful disease
The City of Pekin returned, took aboard
the sick sailor, and when they were again
in port Hastings was sent home to his
relatives.
He succeeded in keeping from his par
ents the knowledge of the terrible dis
ease, and it was not until last Sunday
that they knew of their sons aiIment.
During the past two years he. has spent
all mis- spare change in purchasing medi
cines, and TWO of the best physicians IN
the city have been attending him,

our contemporary, the Sun, whether it

1888 the unsuccessful attempt it made in
1884 to defeat the Democratic party. The
question is not about Mr.. Cleveland, nor
about what seems to be the favorite
dream Of the Sun, the defeat CT the
Democratic party. The question is,
'Does the Sun mean to support the Dem

Yesterday the Sun named certain
circumstances under which it
would support Mr.. Cleveland.
This morning it prints, in 1.al-
les, the following editorial on

Special TO the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, April 27.-The report has
gone abroad, originating from publica-
tion made in the Dallas News 8 few weeks
ago, that RI. Rev. Charles B. Galloway of
Mississippi, one of the bishops of the NJ
E Church South, had recently sent out 8
circular to the Methodists Of his state
and Texas, in which he favored local
option and opposed prohibition. This
afternoon the Day publishes the following
letter from Bishop Galloway to Hon
Thomas r. Bonner. II sets at rest ali
doubts as to the Bishops position:
GOLDsBoRo, n c., April Il, 1887.
Colonel P. r. Bonner.
DEAR SIR-Yours of the 14th inst, for
warded to me at this point, has just been
received and carefully read. By the same
mail received also copies Of the Dallas
News, containing the article to which you
refer. [ am certainly annoyed
that my name should be used as
opposing constitutional prohibition. From
the beginning of the movement iG
Mississippi l have been actively identified
with it, and for several years past have
been the chairman of the state prohibition
executive committee. l have recently
issued little book entitled Handbook
OF Prohibition" especially designed for
circulation in Mississippi, III which my
views are fully set forth.
In a recent address to the friends of
prohibition in Mississippi, Congratulated
them upon the operation of our local Op-
hon law and urged increased activity
that other counties might be redeemed
from the curse of the open saloon. I
draw no contrast between statutory ard
constitutional prohibition, and uttered
not word that could be tortured into
such meaning. I have always held
that local option was an importGn. # not
necessary step. to constitutional pronibl-
ton.
1 wish for the friends of reform in
TsXas a grand victory. II other duties
allowed, l would gladly spend some time
in the state and make my voice heard IL
behalf CT the amendment. Let every
Christian citizen stand in his lot and
battle for the right Very truly and
fraternally, CHARLES B. GALLOWAY.

SHAPING GT-NS

The jury returned u verdict simply in
accordance with the facts. The killing
was generally regarded as justifable.
The deadly weapons that were employed
in the fight were exhibited in court.
Quinn used 3 Smith & Wesson 38-calibre,
and Rsucher's fatal bullet came from
British Bull Dog. Every chamber Of the
formers revolver was Empty, and he had
no doubt fired all the rounds it
held. The hammer had probably
come down once or twice on
an empty chamber, which explains the
swapping alluded to by witness as far as
Quinn was concerned. Rsucher's weapon
may have snapped on a defective cart
ridge.
